Question
The two-year-old has frequent loose and soft stools, always wanting to defecate, sometimes with, sometimes without. Previous treatment situation and effect: No treatment. Desired assistance: Prevention and treatment for frequent and loose stools.
Answer
Frequent loose and soft stools may be caused by indigestion. Firstly, strengthen care and pay attention to diet, avoiding cold food, and consider taking probiotics and pediatric-specific anti-diarrheal medication to aid digestion. Observe for 3 to 5 days; if there is no improvement, visit the local hospital for a regular stool examination to determine if there is inflammation, and adjust the treatment medication based on the examination results.
